I have been using meguiars cleaner wax, and i am thinking of trying out meguiars gold class.

I use the Meguiars professional polishes, then follow up with gold class wax. It gets some pretty extreme shine. Then again I used to detail cars for a living so........ But it should help using the cleaner wax, then follow up with gold class or nxt 2.0

Is there anything in particular you guys would suggest for a black car?

Sometime in the next few weeks I plan on giving it the Meguirs M105/205 treatment, so I want to be able to get all the materials together for that.

4 coats of wax? that seems intense haha

i like meguiars nxt 2.0, but for a unbelievable shine, i use turtle wax ice polish. it looks awesome for about a week, then the shine starts to fade. i only use it when im going to a carshow. otherwise i use the meguiars or new finish.

if your applying another layer of wax on top of a previous layer, does the top layer actually do anything like give it more shine or is it just another layer to protect?
